But Madden’s love is boundless, and obviously no match for the confines of social media. That being said, the rocker did what he could on Instagram, celebrating Nicole on the Friday following her birthday too. Again, not just once …

First, he posted a black-and-white image of Nicole riding on his shoulders, which is both impressive and adorable.

Madden’s third post was the sweetest yet. Accompanying a shot of Nicole wearing a loose plunging maxidress, Joel wrote “The boss in my house I've been at a loss for words for 11 years now...i always just sound like a nervous mess .” Awww (times infinity!).
